The Prazo system, which began in the early 1500's, was a semi-feudal Portuguese land grant system which was designed to force Portuguese colonists to settle on African lands. The Prazos operated as a fusion of Portuguese and African traditions to create estates which were tied to the Portuguese crown.
Historians describe the settlement between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers as Great Zimbabwe due to its impressive stone architecture, particularly the Great Enclosure and the Hill Complex, which symbolize the advanced civilization that thrived there from the 11th to 15th centuries. The site served as a political and economic hub, facilitating trade in gold and ivory, which contributed to its wealth and influence in the region. Additionally, the name "Zimbabwe" itself means "stone houses" in the local Shona language, reflecting the settlement's significant cultural heritage and its role in the development of the Shona identity.
